I went and built an i7 7700k currently sitting at 4.9ghz. The difference was noticeable. People tend to forget how much of a difference a higher 'lowest fps' is. My PUBG and Guildwars2 fps raised a good amount. It just feels smoother. Was it worth the $1k I spent on a whole new build...

Thanks all. I really won't mind upgrading again in 2 years if need be. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and grab the 7700k. I'll reply here and let you know how the upgrade was.

I have an OC'd GTX 1060 6gb but I mainly play cpu intensive games. I don't think upgrading GPUs will be worth it for me.

I had thought Cannonlake was 10nm and Coffeelake was 14nm. Oops. Is Coffeelake worth waiting for?

Is Coffeelake really the hotness? I thought Cannonlake is?!

Shintai's post is why I have a reservation of a new build sitting at Microcenter and STR's post is why it's been sitting there for a few days and is going to expire today. I keep going back and forth.

Honestly, I mostly care about single core performance since I play older games. I don't really care about the USB/Wifi thing either. Thanks

Ok - maybe this topic has been posted before. I keep seeing conflicting opinions, however. I currently have a 3570k @ 4.6ghz (i think I'll tone back to 4.4 since it's getting a bit hot). I play a lot of CPU intensive games such as Guildwars 2, PlayerUnknown's BG, etc. I play Overwatch and my...

Hello, I currently have the above mentioned Samsung monitor and was thinking about going IPS for mmo gaming. I know the Samsung has great colors already, so will this even be worth the switch? Anyone compare the two? Not interested in 27".

I'm in the same boat as you. I own a s23a700d and I'm contemplating picking up the Benq xl2411t since I think it had much lower input lag. If anyone could chime in on this it would be great.

Should I swap over my H70 or should I upgrade to something better? I definitely want to get a good OC on it.

Haha next week it will be up for grabs.

I mean what is a good future proof mobo. They seem to be cheaper than 1366 which is great.

I think I will make the upgrade. What mobo should I be getting? Especially if I want it to be IB compatible.

I have an HD 7970.

I have 6 gigs of corsair xsms3 1600 pc12800 yadda yadda Nowadays I'm primarily playing SW:Tor which would wreak havoc on any system. Would going beyond 6gb benefit me?

I'm thinking of selling off my i7 950/mobo/ram and picking up the i5-2500k w/ some quicker ram/mobo. I read I can get a mobo that will also be compatible with the ivy bridge? Anyways, what do you think. I don't need hyperthreading and have been reading great things about the i5-2500k in...

I ordered the diamond card. If they are all reference cards what is the big deal?

That's what I'm thinking. SW:Tor is a bit choppy so I'd be upgrading for that. Decisions decisions...

I'm still on the fence about the card to be honest. I have an HD 5870 right now and all I play is WoW and SW:ToR. I know tor could use some help but wow is simple to run. Not quite sure if it's worth the upgrade at 1080p.

Thank you. I will probably pick up the diamond.

Is diamond a good card? I was mostly looking for an ASUS or XFX. I should of specified.

Was looking to buy one of these tomorrow. Could anyone help me out with a place that has these in stock?

Hello all I'm having issues with my new monitor. I just got the s27a750d and my eyes are bothering me even after I lowered the brightness a lot. What is the right viewing distance from this thing? I am sitting a lot further back than I originally was with my 24" monitor. I am starting to...

Haven't had a single problem with the displayport on mine. Never got that error.

most likely im going to get the 23" version. i really like the glossy screen

Ok. The picture is beautiful on this thing but 27" is just too damn big. How do you guys play on this? I have a dead pixel on mine but I think I'll return it for good irregardless. I just feel like 27 is too big. The picture is stunning though.

I sold my gtx 570 actually. I did switch back to the HD 5870 but I don't use 3D. I'll be getting the 7970 in a few weeks.

Mine arrives tomorrow. Switching GPUs just for this monitor. Have a brand new twin frozr III 570 GTX that I'm going to swap for my old HD 5870. (WTS GTX 570!!)

3D does not mean 120hz.

I made the move... haha http://imageshack.us/f/191/imag0035e.jpg/

I have been reading and reading and everything points to the Samsung s27a950d. 1. How bad is the glossy screen? I literally sit right next to a window. I can rearrange my set up (not really an issue at all) but will it still be an issue? This room is pretty small and has an overhead...

Decisions decisions. I currently use a sony g520 which is on its way out and I have a choice between a brand new HP p1230 and buying the new benq. What to do?
